Loch Lomond is a vast and extremely beautiful freshwater lake nestled amid a landscape of majestic mountains. The lake crosses the Highland Boundary Fault, often considered the boundary between the lowlands of Central Scotland and the Highlands. As well as the loch, there are river floodplains and five wooded islands; all supporting rich communities of plants, invertebrates, fish and birds.

Hiking

One of the first highlights on the West Highland Way! Beautiful huge lake on the shore along the way also offers some nice camping sites.

(You only have to pay attention to the Camping Management zones)

Hiking

Given the water temperature, it is questionable whether you accept the invitation to swim. In any case, a walk on the beach is very relaxing here.
